Joshua asks "...the difference between bungee cord and shock cord?"
Bungee cord is tied to the ankles of daring tourists on bridges near Queenstown,
New Zealand. The tourist is then flung off the bridge and hurtles downwards
towards the river below, eventually bouncing like a yo-yo. They pay for this
experience!
Shock cord is tied to the genitalia of certain daring tourists in....
Wait, I think bungee cord and shock cord are actually synonyms.
Sorry, PT.
